Phoo carvings in Hard Maple & Black Walnut
I made this for my In-Laws for Christmas. It is from photos of Mom,Pop and all the Grand kids. I glued some 3/8 maple to 7/8 walnut and planed the maple to .20 and the walnut to .75
I made carving patterns from the pics. using Paint.net and PhotoScape and carved them at .25. Setting the carving depth at .25 will remove all the glue and just barely touch the walnut.
The carving is 10 x 32 and took about 4.5 hours carving on best I also left the piece extra long to stay under the rollers and pre sanded as always.
This is a time consuming project but I enjoyed.
I hope some of you guys like it.
